THUNDER6-INST
6WT TROPICAL INSTRUCTOR LINE
Description
Firstly I'd like you to note that I would like to sell these lines without the packaging. I sold a lumi-line to a friend recently and the the first thing he did was throw the box and the spool in the bin. What a waste! (I picked it out later!). If you don't have a line-winder, or an old fly line spool from a previous purchase, then it's quite possible to unroll the line using a rolled up fly fishing magazine. If you want the box and spool - maybe it's a present to a loved one? - and it certainly *looks* better presented in a box, then for an extra 5USD I'll send you one nicely packaged. Consequently I've dropped 5USD from our sales price of this product - if you would like the presentation box then please email me on paul@sexyloops.com or let me know in a sales note when you order.
This is a long belly 6WT flyline, in orange, on the stiff side for better shooting and the tropics! It is the same taper as the TCR line - it has a long rear taper which means that it's more user-friendly to various carry lengths. It's bright orange for teaching (and fly casting exams). Slightly shorter in the head than the MED that you may know well, but without the compound front taper. It's more fishing friendly and rolls and Speys beautifully with longer pickups.
The price you see is the price you pay and includes all world-wide shipping costs.

Paul's Comments
PLEASE NOTE: You must stretch this line for it to behave in any way that you would want, and then it will be fantastic. It is possible to use this line in cold climates but not nearly as much fun - apparently it's gets better with use however. This is my favourite all-round taper. Perfect for the Hot Torpedo Instructor rod! Many of the videos on Sexyloops have been shot with the 5WT version. It's very fishable, apart from the colour.
